A gem of a restaurant in S.San Francisco off of Grand Ave. Fantastic hand made pita and potato bread with delicious main entrees. Low key but hospitable ambiance with good servers.

This is simply the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Bay Area. Everything is made fresh. The hummus is the best I've ever had--made in house. The have a full bar if you want to drink with your meal. Their kebabs are all excellent. You get a nice Mediterranean salad and saffron rice with two kebabs, all reasonably priced. The spinach and prawn salad is excellent, as is the Cesar. The flat breads are delicious, as is the beef and lamb burger. Try it out!

This was our first time trying out this spot. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I expected. The pomegranate sparkling drink was lacking flavor, it had mostly all ice and club soda. My lamb shank was served cold, when I expected to be hot. Only the bottom of the lamb shank was warm. Sorry, but we will not be returning.

Food is really good. Service is outstanding. My only complaint is the music level, a bit too high for my taste.
